Cisco has been trying to figure out storage on UCS and
there rack servers for years. Now that Dell bought EMC,
Cisco has bought springPath as a weak attempt IMHO
to compete in the hyper-converted storage offerings.
At the end of the day, NetApp has the storage hardware
and associated software. Cisco is trying to stay revenant
IMHO. Expensive solution but it does work well for those
who have no expertise on building your own.
